In eye-opening detail, Richard Bernstein and Ross H. Munro, both of whom have been correspondents in China and bureau chiefs
in Asia, examine China's continuing portrayal of America as the enemy; the shifts in Beijing's perception of American might;
the enormous boon to China that the takeover of Hong Kong represents; China's increase in military strength; its challenging
positions on Taiwan and the South China Sea; its sale of weapons to U.S. adversaries; its concerted efforts to hijack technology;
its rigorous attempts - often through American corporations profiting in China - to influence U.S. policy. We discover how
our military strategists are revising their scenarios for future conflicts, and how China is conducting its espionage. We
are brought face-to-face with the startling implications of the trade imbalance between the United States and China (our deficit
is $40 billion and growing). We learn of the struggles within the Chinese leadership and how assertive Chinese nationalism
augurs a turbulent period ahead. This book is an informed and illuminating examination of a high-stakes clash of competing
ideologies and economic interests

Examines the first episode in which American power and good intentions came face-to-face with a powerful Asian revolutionary
movement, and challenges familiar assumptions about the origins of modern Sino-American relations. As 1945 opened, America
was on surprisingly congenial terms with China's Communist rebels--their soldiers treated their American counterparts as heroes,
rescuing airmen shot down over enemy territory. Chinese leaders talked of a future in which American money and technology
would help lift China out of poverty. Mao Zedong himself held friendly meetings with U.S. emissaries, vowing to them his intention
of establishing an American-style democracy in China. By year's end, however, cordiality had been replaced by chilly hostility
and distrust. Chinese Communist soldiers were setting ambushes for American marines in north China; Communist newspapers were
portraying the United States as an implacable imperialist enemy; civil war in China was erupting. The pattern was set for
a quarter century of almost total Sino-American mistrust, with the devastating wars in Korea and Vietnam among the consequences.
Richard Bernstein here tells the incredible story of that year's sea change, brilliantly analyzing its many components, from
ferocious infighting among U.S. diplomats, military leaders, and opinion makers to the complex relations between Mao and his
patron, Stalin.--From publisher description

"Richard Bernstein's story of his long journey through Asia is at once a memoir of adventurous travel and a record of cultural
discovery and spiritual quest." "In the year 629, a greatly revered Chinese Buddhist monk, Hsuan Tsang, set out across Asia
in search of the Buddhist Truth, to settle what he called the "perplexities of my mind." Nearly a millenium and a half later,
Richard Bernstein retraces the monk's steps: from the Tang dynasty capital at Xian through ancient Silk Road oases, over forbidding
mountain passes to Tashkent, Samarkand, and the Amu-Darya River, across Pakistan to the holiest cities of India - and back."
"Ultimate Journey is a vivid, profoundly felt account of two stirring adventures - one in the past and one in the present
- in pursuit of illumination."--Jacket

"Richard Bernstein defines the East widely - northern Africa, the Middle East, Asia, the Pacific Islands - and frames it as
a place where sexual pleasure was not commonly associated with sin, as it was in the West, and where a different sexual culture
offered the Western men who came as conquerors and traders thrilling but morally ambiguous opportunities that were mostly
unavailable at home. Bernstein maps this erotic history through a chronology of notable personalities. Here are some of Europe's
greatest literary personalities and explorers: Marco Polo, writing on the harem of Kublai Khan; Gustave Flaubert, describing
his dalliances with Egyptian prostitutes (and the diseases he picked up along the way); and Richard Francis Burton, adventurer,
lothario, anthropologist and translator of The Arabian Nights." "Here also are those figures less well-known but with stories
no less captivating or surprising: Europeans whose "temporary marriages" to Japanese women might have inspired Puccini's Madama
Butterfly; rare visitors to the boudoirs of Chinese emperors in the Forbidden City; American G.I.s and journalists in Vietnam
discovering the sexual emoluments of postcolonial power; men attracted to the sex bazaars of yesterday's North Africa and
the Thailand of today. And throughout, Bernstein explores the lives of those women who suffered for or profited from the fantasies
of Western men."--Jacket
